Indie lesbian twin-sister hipster folk duo TEGAN & SARA are not known for their metal cred. In fact, one listen to one of their MySpace tracks proves there is nothing metal about them. Until now! Renowned metal artist (and T&S fan) Glenn Smith decided he was inspired by the duo and presented them with the [...]
web site Something old is now something new I guess. Back in '07, people were swooning over The Con and Tegan and Sara were getting covered by some of the biggest bands in music. Both girls were snatched up by electro artists and pop punkers for cameos and Tegan and Sara got so popular that they were asked to put out an ITunes only EP. Luckily for everyone that doesn't shop at ITunes, they de...
In our virtual world today, a lot of things can get done without anyone ever seeing or ever meeting the person on the other end. You IM, you text, you email. People have become just names in inboxes, not faces in boardroom meetings. Despite the detachment these virtual relationships still get a lot accomplished and Tegan Quin, one of half of the Canadian twin sister act Tegan & Sara, and best-s...

Taking the third spot on my top 10 list for Sasquatch! are one of my favorite bands, Tegan and Sara. We got some pretty sweet spots in the pit thanks to a lot of the Cold War Kids fans who left, which was great because Tegan and Sara really aren't a band that you can sit far away on a lawn to watch; with their witty and engaging stage banter and emotion laced songs, it's almost silly to distan...
I'm going to have to start off by saying that I've gone to some killer ass shows this year... just a few include Daft Punk at the LA sports arena where kids walked out asking if they had just been abducted by aliens, Arcade Fire / LCD Soundsystem / Blonde Redhead where 20,000 kids showed up to Randall's Island, Paramore (two times? maybe three. i've lost count), Tegan and Sara three times in a ...
This review is long overdue. It has been two long weeks since I saw Tegan and Sara at the Malibu Performing Arts Center. The Malibu Perf. is surprisingly cheesy, but the beauty of the place is that it is really quite small. I was in the first row, a little off to the side, and I didn’t miss my glasses much—a refreshing change from seeing Bob Dylan. There was no opening act, so Tegan and Sara ju...

While retaining the usual comforting melodies and gorgeous harmonies that you would e...

Those of you who have been keeping up with my mog know that my art is often times inspired by music. However, I have never tackled portraits of actual musicians. Until now that is...Tegan and Sara (18" x 24"; charcoal and pastel on paper). This one took almost twenty hours.Cat Power (not sure of the size, 9"-ish x 13"-ish?; acrylic on paper). This was a quicker piece, just over twelve hours.I a...
